• Instruct students to make a new copy of each shared document they receive in the collection (unless you want all your students accessing/editing the same document and being able to see what every other student is doing)

1. Click title of document to open
2. Choose File
3. Choose Make a copy… (do not check the box for Also copy document collaborators – default)
